Writing an Introductory Paragraph

 Though writing an introductory paragraph can be exasperating, there are some steps to take in order to elude the difficulty it brings. The first step is to begin with a hook. Though it does not need to be confined to starting with an interrogation, the easiest way to attract the readers attention is using a question. The following step is, to add background information concerning the topic of discussion. This background information will serve as a transition into the next step, which is the thesis statement. The thesis statement presents the arguments the author will use to lobby the readers point of view. Once the introductory paragraph is finished, the author will begin his or her body paragraphs. These paragraphs will validate the arguments proposed by simply using excerpts from trustworthy sources such as articles, official documents and many other sources.

Blog 02.0011.10.24

I guess it is inevitable for me to write this blog if I want the points it's worth. My negligence to write it would mean one less point for my English class, hence the only logical thing to do is to inscribe in this post what my mind comes up with. Though most of this will be improvised, I think it is a very shrewd plan that will mitigate the difficulty of choosing an interesting topic. It may not be an immense paragraph, nor is it a typical one, but I hope it will make do to avert the current situation. As we are already concluding this minute post, I wish to end it with a very random word. BANANA!

The Darth Lord

In almost every movie there is an evil character, that is dauntless with a sullen personality, that wants his heinous plans to succeed. Darth Vader (your-father) and Lord Voldemort (he-who-must-not-be-named) are such characters. Both have an ugly physiognomy and countless lineaments in their faces. Though very similar in their dark ways, they can be distinguished. Vader for his massive endued force capabilities, and Voldemort for his irksome and constant attempts to kill Harry Potter. There is much debate in deciding which character has more power, who is more heinous, and who would hypothetically win in a battle.

3:) D.U.I. 3:)

In 2008, out of approximately 37,261 fatalities in the U.S.A., 37% of them were caused by driving under the influence (D.U.I) of alcohol. Driving under the influence can have many negative effects, for example, you can get arrested and fined. Another negative effect this has is that it raises the chance of detrimental crashes occurring. In many cases, conductors who have been in a crash related to alcohol abuse have received physical damage such as paralysis and fervent third degree burns. In extreme cases, many individuals did not survive the crash and died either slowly or immediately. So as you just read, D.U.I is a very pernicious thing to do that not only affects the person under the influence but the people involved in the crash.

Rudolf the Red Nose Terrorist

Rudolf lived in a southern town in Texas. Though he lived with his mother most of his life, she never payed much attention to him and always passed the time with her friends. As the years passed, Rudolf started acting like a misogynist person. One day when he was 21 years old, he decided to release some of his anger by blowing up a mall with a pernicious C-4 compact bomb. While trying to leave the scene, he was caught by police patrols and locked in jail. He sat in a corner and dozed off. In his dream, hes mother appeared.

Mom- Rudolf, what have you done?!

Rudolf- I did what i had to do, mom.

M- What are you talking about?! You murdered a lot of people. What could have possibly been your reason?!

R- I just wanted to get your attention. Every time I needed you, you preferred going shopping with your friends.

M- That doesn't justify your actions. What you did was very detrimental to both the people inside the mall and their family.

R- Stop blaming me! If you had shown some affection towards me, I wouldn't have done this.

M- Rudolf, wake up! You are already 21 years old. Take responsibility for your actions. Wake up!

Cop 1: Wake up Rudolf. Wake up!

R- Huh? What? Where? What do you want?

Cop 1: We received a call from the hospital, your mom was in the mall during the explosion.

R- But she told me she went home to take a nap.

Cop 2: Sir, we just received another call from the hospital. Rudolf's mom was badly injured.

R- How badly?!

Cop 2: She was able to evade the primary blast, but she took fervent burns to the body and falling debris paralyzed her.

R- Will she be alright?

Cop 2: They called to inform that she passed away a few minutes ago.

Cop 1: Rudolf, you murdered your mother.

R- Nooo! Why? Why was I such an idiot!


*During our life, we encounter many situations that provoke certain feelings, feelings that we must keep in constant check and control so that we do not act irrationally. Though Rudolf's case was an extreme one, there are in fact people around the world who do not have the ability to control their emotions, and indeed sometimes go to extreme methods of releasing them hoping that those negative feelings will fade away. After they have acted irrationally, they must deal with the consequences, and in the end they feel sorry for acting in such an inappropriate way.
